So, *nobody* supports an "HP LP" on 1H1 (?).

Now, I guess that in most cases it is just a re-test and
validation of the "HP" LP to make it an "VSI" LP, not?
So if so, this should be a temporary "problem".

Is there some current/updated list of current "VSI" branded LP's?
Should be as easy to keep current as updating a Facebook page... :-)
